Like their American counterparts, Japanese electronics companies are suffering from the way personal computers, printers and many of the parts that go into them have become nearly as interchangeable as wheat or pork bellies.
Very often a professional magazine has an amateur counterpart, as, for instance, in electronics, where the amateur finds a wide range of technical magazines on radio, television, hi-fi, and tape recording.
Hot airBritish Aerospace upset its German and French counterparts with the purchase of Marconi Electronics from Britain's GEC for £7.7 billion ($12.8 billion).
In fact, Taiwan's electronics industry bears a lower debt burden than its counterpart in the U.S., according to Lily Wu, Asia technology analyst at Salomon Smith Barney.
Electronics and tech firms were affected similarly to their Japanese counterparts by the Circuit City bankruptcy: LG Electronics lost 7.0%, to 86,500 won ($65.10); LG Display depreciated by 6.5%, to 22,450 won ($16.89); and Hynix Semiconductor shed 8.5%, to 10,200 won ($7.68).
The input drive requirements of these devices are substantially lower than their current-driven counterparts and are the preferred choice in modern power electronics.
With significant advantages over their traditional counterpart, CNTs are generally believed to be an ideal building block for the next generation electronics, optoelectronics, and high-performance sensors.
Unlike their American counterparts, Japanese automakers have long made energy efficiency a priority, teaming up with Japanese electronics conglomerates to develop high-powered batteries.
